The general answer is yes, because they haven't been printed in half a century and are considered to be collectors' items.

The "but..." is that some dates like 1957-series $1 bills were saved in huge quantities so most collectors and dealers have all they want. Those bills currently retail for roughly $1.50 to $2.00 depending on condition which means they've actually lost value compared to inflation.

On the other hand some older ones can be worth much more than face value but like almost all collectible currency you have to know their date, series letter, and condition to determine a value.

What is the value of a US silver certificate?

Silver certificates were issued for almost a century in many designs and denominations so that's far too broad a question to be answered without writing a small book. Many late-date (e.g. 1957) $1 silver certificates are worth only slightly more than face value because they were saved by the carload when the government announced they would no longer be printed. However, older silver certificates and those with higher denominations can often be worth a premium. If you have specific bills, please look for questions in the form "What is the value of a (date) US (value) silver certificate?"; for example, "What is the value of a 1953 US 10 dollar silver certificate?" You do not have to copy the bill's serial number. In most cases serial numbers don't affect a bill's value or help to ID it.


Can you still use a 1 dollar silver certificate?

Silver certificates were never formally withdrawn so you could still spend one, but you can't exchange them for silver anymore. However depending on its date it may not make much sense to spend a silver certificate. Common ones (mostly 1957 $1 bills) are pretty much only worth a bit more than face value to collectors, but some older-date silver certificates can be worth much more.
